Renowned Sound Quality at Budget-Friendly Price

Based on the best-selling studio microphone in the company's history, the AT2020, the Audio-Technica AT2020USB-X Cardioid Condenser USB Microphone provides the audio quality creators come to expect with the plug-and-play convenience of USB Type-C operation, at a budget-friendly price. The microphone is designed for digitally capturing speech, music, or any acoustic audio source using your favorite recording or streaming software. Combining a directional pickup pattern that keeps the focus on your voice (or other chosen sound source) with a high-resolution A/D converter, the AT2020USB-X delivers remarkably clear, natural sound reproduction—ideal for podcasters, singer/songwriters, streamers, voice-over artists, and home-studio recorders.

Critically Acclaimed Sound with 24-Bit / 96 kHz Resolution

• Audio-Technica's state-of-the-art design and manufacturing techniques ensure that the microphone complies with the company's renowned consistency and reliability standards.
• The mic’s cardioid polar pattern helps to focus audio capture on the speaker/performer in front of the capsule, picking up less unwanted background noise, an especially useful feature in untreated studios or podcasting spaces. 
• The AT2020USB-X's smooth, extended 20 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response and its high-resolution A/D converter (with up to 24-bit / 96 kHz sampling rate) deliver accurate sound reproduction ideally suited for streaming, podcasting, and music and video production.

Comfortable Headphone Monitoring

• The AT2020USB-X features a built-in headphone jack with volume control to let you directly monitor the microphone's signal without hearing any delay.
• The high-output internal headphone amplifier delivers superior clarity and musical detail as well as more volume overall.
• A convenient mix control lets you blend the microphone’s audio with audio from your computer, great for overdubbing to a music bed.

Silent Mute Button for Podcasting and Streaming

• The silent, touch-sensitive mute button is conveniently located on the body of the microphone to quickly and silently mute the mic in case you need a private moment.
• The two-state LED (blue/red) indicator ring lights blue to indicate that the microphone is receiving USB power and lights red when audio is muted at the microphone.

Other Features

• USB-C output: The microphone is equipped with a USB Type-C output, offering compatibility with a wide range of current and upcoming devices. Included is a cable with USB Type-C and USB Type-A options—expanding the microphone’s compatibility and making it easier to use.
• Custom desk stand: The included desk stand provides a stable and secure base.
• The AT8455 shockmount (available separately) provides additional flexibility for attaching the mic to a mic stand.
• A 3/8"-16 to 5/8"-27 threaded adapter is included to expand compatibility with mic stands.
